Maximise mineral processing efficiency with Multotec Australia’s screen panels
Australia has one of the world’s largest and most diverse mining industries. The country’s mining sector includes iron ore, gold, manganese and zinc. To maximise the extraction of these minerals, screen panels are required. Screen panels play a vital role in sorting and classifying minerals, rocks and other mined materials according to size. To help amplify mineral processing operations, Multotec Australia manufactures a wide range of customised screen panels. With branches in Brisbane, Newman, Newcastle, Emerald, MacKay and Perth, Multotec Australia’s screen solutions are available across Australia.
Multotec Australia’s mining screen panels are used in sorting, classifying, dewatering, scalping and desliming applications across all mineral processing applications. Our vast range of screen panels is made from various materials, including rubber, polyurethane and compounded metal.
What are screen panels
Screen panels are the components used in static and trommel screen applications in the mineral processing and other industries. Screen panels are used in the classification, separation, and categorisation of raw materials according to their size. The primary function of screen panels is the separation of particles.
Why screen panels are crucial
Screen panels are integral to mining and mineral processing for several reasons. They play a crucial role in particle size classification, allowing for the efficient separation of materials based on size and facilitating the handling and processing of mined materials. Screens contribute to sorting and grading materials, optimising downstream processes such as crushing and grinding, and enhancing overall efficiency by targeting specific size ranges for further processing. Additionally, screen panels play a role in quality control, preventing oversized or coarse materials from entering downstream equipment and protecting machinery from wear and tear. Different types of screens, including rubber and wedge wire screens, provide flexibility in material handling. Beyond material classification, screens help with water management during processes like washing and dewatering.
Panel screens from Multotec Australia, which includes wedge wire and rubber screens, provides flexibility in handling materials by managing water during operations. Watch the video below to discover more about Multotec Australia’s screen panel manufacturing capacity.
Multotec Manufacturing Capabilities
Our range of screen panels
Multotec Australia’s mining screen panels, made from rubber, polyurethane, and compounded metal, cater to various mineral processing applications. Multotec Australia’s screen panels are designed be used with trommel screens and vibrating screens. The diverse range includes:
Polyurethane Screens
Multotec manufactures a complete range of high tensile polyurethane panels and TeePee panels for your screening plant.
Rubber Screens
Rubber screens absorb impact, reduce pegging and blinding and improve wear life in coarse and heavy-duty applications.
Wedge Wire Screens
Wedge wire screens for filtration, solid/liquid separation, classification, dewatering and concentration in mineral processing applications.
Polywedge Screen Panels
Injection moulded polywedge screens combine the excellent wear of polyurethane with the high open areas of wedge wire.
Polypunch Screen Panels
For use on multislope screens, Polypunch panels consist of a laser-cut perforated plate surface with polyurethane borders.
Fastening Systems and Accessories
All the fastening systems and accessories you need to install, service and customise your screen panels.
Ceradox High Impact Panels
The Ceradox panel incorporates both Hardox and alumina tiles, boasting more than double the wear life of rubber panels.
